Finnish singer-songwriter Anthony Rausku’s latest single, Life is Perfect for Living, is a striking blend of grunge nostalgia and melodic craftsmanship. Drawing from his deep-rooted influences—most notably 90s grunge icons and the melodic genius of David Bowie—Rausku delivers a song that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.He has spent years playing in bands before launching his solo career, Rausku’s songwriting is refined, carrying a weight of experience and introspection. His music exists in a space where raw emotion meets carefully constructed melodies, proving that he is more than just another artist paying tribute to the past—he’s building upon it in his own distinct way.The grunge influence in Life is Perfect for Living is undeniable. The track carries the familiar elements of the genre: distorted guitars, a driving rhythm section, and an undercurrent of melancholic energy. Yet, it also incorporates something that many grunge songs often overlooked—melody. Rausku’s approach is deeply rooted in the belief that melody is the most important part of songwriting, and it shows.
While the song’s gritty production and moody instrumentation may remind listeners of bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains, its melodic sensibility sets it apart. There’s a balance between the roughness of the instrumentation and the smoothness of the vocal lines, making the song accessible even to those who might not typically gravitate toward grunge.
